i was invited to write an historical and advocacy-oriented article about the stunning Commerce Bank (originally Union National Bank and Trust) for the bimonthly Manhattan/Riley Country Preservation Alliance Newsletter. Published in February 2024, this essay focuses on arguably the most sophisticated and elegant modernist building in Manhattan, Kansas. For many years the bank has attempted to sell the property, so its future is uncertain. Hopefully, this article elicits more attention to the building as an important part of the city’s architectural legacy.
